**Election results declared on May 4, 2026, from the Puducherry Legislative Assembly polls—held April 9—have propelled the All India N.R. Congress (AINRC) to 12 seats, the highest tally among 30 constituencies, with BJP allies securing four more for an NDA coalition majority of at least 16.** Chief Minister N. Rangasamy retained his Thattanchavady seat amid a pro-incumbency wave favoring the incumbent NDA government. This commanding trader consensus at 100% for AINRC reflects official Election Commission of India tallies, outpacing DMK (five seats), TVK (two), and INC (one). Realistic challenges would require successful recounts, legal disputes over results, or post-poll defections fracturing the coalition, though such reversals remain improbable given the decisive margin and historical stability in Puducherry's assembly elections.
